If you live in Maricopa County, your 2020 ballot is currently sitting at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, in the hands of a company called Cyber Ninjas, run by someone active in the "Stop the Steal" conspiracy.

A quick recap of where things stand:

The ballots are being counted by volunteers in a non-secure facility with minimal protocols in place.

There is almost no transparency and reporters have been refused access.

The audit is being run by a company called Cyber Ninjas. Their CEO, Doug Logan, has spent months pushing nonsensical conspiracy theories alleging that the 2020 election was stolen.

This circus deeply undermines the security and integrity of our elections. And it's part of a broader assault on democratic norms and institutions, being pursued alongside voter suppression bills like #SB1485.

AZ is in the national headlines yet again over this ridiculous audit. @dougducey, is this really the message you want Arizona to send to businesses or individuals who might be moving here? Is this the reputation we want?

AZ deserves so much better.

*THREAD*

.@dougducey has officially signed #SB1457 into law. All the efforts & over 2,000 signatures collected had a great impact on how this legislation is pushed out & the fight is definitely not over.

We fought against this horrible bill for these reasons:

#AZLEG (1/6)

This bill criminalizes doctors who perform an abortion based on genetic abnormalities with a Class 3 FELONY.

This puts doctors who perform abortion-care in Arizona in an incredibly difficult position, as they could receive a felony for providing basic healthcare. (2/6) #AZLEG

@AZSenateGOP

The litigation efforts that will come due to this bill will be extremely costly & will take away from more important issues throughout our state like COVID-19 relief.

This is what the @AZSenateGOP would rather focus on than addressing real issues facing our state. #AZLEG (3/6)

“This is a bill contrary to 76% of Arizona voters, who believe that personal medical decisions are between a patient and a doctor. This is our legislatures’ attempt to pander to extremists” -@CiviaTamarkin

@CiviaTamarkin

“This is a bill that puts lives in danger and something that very few people pay attention to it is a violation of the first amendment establishment clause on freedom of religion because this bill attempts to enshrine one religious belief into law” -@CiviaTamarkin

Arizona has 7.2 million people. Later today, about 30 of them will gather for a rally at the State Capitol calling for stay at home orders to be lifted.

A quick thread about where these protests are really coming from. (1/11)

The real story with these stay at home protests is that they're just. so. small.

The vast majority of Americans support continued social distancing.

And aren't dumb enough to congregate in large groups right now.

Meanwhile, these protests are being coordinated at a national level and pushed aggressively by Fox News and President Trump. Many have identical descriptions and websites that were registered all at the same time.

MEGA-THREAD:
Over the last 24 hours, #coronavirus news has moved FAST.

Keeping people healthy and safe means canceling events & closing everything. That, in turn, means missed work, smaller paychecks, shrinking bank balances and a lot of stress & worry for working people.

Luckily, AZ already has paid sick leave, thanks to #Prop206 passed by @LUCHAAZ & many others. (Shout-out to the power of grassroots ballot measures!) Part-time, hourly and seasonal workers all get paid sick time!

If your employer does try to commit wage theft by not providing you with paid sick leave as guaranteed through #Prop206, contact the Industrial Commission of Arizona: azica.gov/forms/labor3305 (3/13)
